Who Is Running The Football Club? -- Eerwah, Monday, December 04, 12:16:16am(106-69-71-83.dyn.iinet.net.au/106.69.71.83)
Soares was signed while injured suggesting a move to make certain FFC do not miss out. Djalo also has reasonable pedigree yet both were glued to the bench v Brentford where on pitch happenings were crying out for their inclusion. Legal aspects are perhaps restraining the club from a diplomatic clarification statement regarding TK's mate on off debacle and SJ's comments of Button's handling look like a brave but futile effort to deflect the apportionment of responsibility.

The above are but a few pointers of the confused leadership and SJ is culpable for not standing his ground to demand full responsibility of football matters at FFC. The owner is perfectly entitled to place an overseeing capability and participate in formation of policy but a football savvy leader is required to be in charge of running the club. Adverse results will happen during any course of events but last Saturday's loss has many questions that require addressing.

Well if Hodgson considers 'if he' keeps Palace from relegation after stepping in after 7 loses and zero points

where does it put Symons acheivement?

People will no doubt say 'it was only the 2nd tier'

but are these the same people who swoon after SJ

claiming he plays the best football in a decade.

I say it is the 2nd tier and didn't Coleman out play Man U at OT in the PL? Yet Coleman who had Fulham in the top 4 places until Saha was sold (still finished 9th) is remembered as a bad manager...... PL people!!!

Jan window -- woodman, Sunday, December 03, 02:12:13pm(host81-155-166-34.range81-155.btcentralplus.com/81.155.166.34)
Seem to say this every window but I imagine this one really is defining for Slav. I'm not sure the press stories assuming Slav will have more control than before are entirely accurate given we were told the system would not change despite Kline departure. Unless Kline was the real deal blocker for Slav's targets. For sure, if he doesn't get his way he'll probably look to walk. But if the play offs are out of reach (to an extent) come Jan will the Club bring in Slav targets knowing they might be seeing the back of him imminently?
Disappointed in some twitter comments on Slav. Constructive criticism is fine but some have very short memories.

The Manager/Coach -- Depressed, Sunday, December 03, 09:14:19am(host-92-19-74-180.as13285.net/92.19.74.180)
The Times report on the match makes some telling remarks re Jokanovic namely:

1"Fulham whose manager was tactically unconvincing"

2" Seemed tactically awry-with no striker for most of the match and the ineffectual Rui Fonte brought on after 62 minutes. The absence of Tim Ream from central defence was costly. Ryan Sessegnon, recent scorer of a hat-trick at Sheffield United from the left wing, was for the second successive occassion relegated to left back where he often tried to go forward,then failed to get back,leaving space for Brentford to attack"

These comments back up observations made by supporters who attended the match.

In case I win and the result goes the wrong way.Whats the estimated drop into the Putney end ? and is there a soft landing area!,

Birmingham City -- Jimmy Hills Chin, Sunday, December 03, 01:05:10pm(remote.surreygolf.org/80.68.55.129)
So we move onto next weekend, the blue noses and a game we should win comfortably. But what team should we expect? Odoi wont be playing, so will this see (in my eyes) a long awaited start for soares?

If he does start sess as lb then this will send out another message to the ownership that the recruitment is not good enough. For me this would be acceptable if we were in the top six, banging in goals and winning by 2 or 3, like the last half of last season but alas, this is not happening.

Does sj need to readdress his priorities when selecting the team? Every manager has his favourites, that is understandable, but if you look at performances a lot of the team have not been doing enough to be viewed as "undroppable". We need to see these players, give them a chance, because im pretty sure that soares, graham and mollo could certainly do a good job for us.

If they cant, at least let us see it. The very little i have seen of those 3 that i have mentioned, i have not been unimpressed at all, but that is one of our problems. Sj's selections are so predictable.

If we do continue along the same way, well lets hope performances and results improve, although 7 points from the last 12 is not the worst return ever, if we have any chance of making the playoffs we need to go on run of 4 or 5 wins in a row.

Just getting it off my chest -- Stevo, Sunday, December 03, 07:34:24am(host86-164-71-95.range86-164.btcentralplus.com/86.164.71.95)
Whatever you think about Bettinelli or Button, the gap in quality between both keepers is so marginal that keeping Button in the side when he's clearly off form smacks of favoritism. And I don't think it's the first or last of this type of selection we're going to see from Jokanovic.

Once again yesterday he decided to put players totally out of position in an attempt to make a point. Well, his point-making is now costing us results. And the only point he's succeeding in getting across is showing everyone that he's stubborn and puts himself above the club.

Odoi should have been replaced at half time, we could all see that he was a yellow card waiting to happen. Was there a centre half on the bench? Yes, Djalo. Whether he can hack it at this level is up for debate but sometimes you just have have to play a round peg in a round hole.

Looking at the body language of the players yesterday, it looks like Jokanovic has lost the dressing room. He's a dour man and his touchline presence is totally negative. I'm getting sick of watching him throw his arms up and turn to his bench shaking his head. To me that's him offering no constructive tactical advice or encouragement to his players. If Fulham or England were in a major final and the manager did that, you'd think he'd thrown in the towel. So if that's the case why doesn't Jokanovic just resign? I can't see him turning this situation around.

Just look at the squads of Sheffield United, Cardiff or Preston. I'd back myself in saying that we have a better squad in all positions than those clubs yet due to the manager we are massively underperforming. If Jokanovic is about to start his biannual whinge about needing better players I'd like to see him take charge of those squads.

Jokanovic perhaps rightly getting some stick on here tonight, however..... -- Mickey, Saturday, December 02, 07:58:21pm(host86-191-252-142.range86-191.btcentralplus.com/86.191.252.142)
Soares, Djalo, Cisse, Graham, Mollo, Fonte and Kamara. Now you convince me that any of the above would have made a difference today whether starting or brought on. For Johansen to be favoured 'up top' rather than either of a strike force costing 14 million surely speaks volumes, as does not immediately replacing a vulnerable Odoi with the only CH brought in last summer. Yes our Head COACH makes mistakes, but good grief look at the absolute and total Dross brought to him by this sorry and hideous regime!
